The Worlds Cultural Center

The high speeds of modern life don't leave us much time for other things, and we can often find ourselves rushing forward without ever having a chance even to catch our breath. Even the occasional break from work, the so-called vacation, just allows enough time to begin relaxing before its back to the grind again.

If you've been working your entire adult life, then I'm sure you can imagine retirement coming as something of a shock. Suddenly, you don't have deadlines, or schedules, or appointments... just lots and lots of free time. Of course, in the beginning you'll probably spend a few months just relaxing, but that can get very boring, surprisingly quickly. Then you'll probably start taking up hobbies, doing everything you always meant to do, you know. Play the lute. Write a book. Whatever you've never had the time for before now.

But, inevitable, you'll realize that this is all so ultimate purposeless. I mean, what's the point? You're keeping up your old action-packed schedule, for really no other reason then that that is what you've always done. Perhaps it's time to take a real break. Go somewhere different. Leave your old home, that has so many associations with work, and head off to somewhere that you can really relax. Like a slow evening after a hard day.

Costa del Sol is this place. A true center of art and culture, the southern coast of Spain has taken a prominent position on the world map. This is largely because it is host to Spains third largest city, Malaga, which is quickly taking the place of Paris as the city to visit. Malaga itself is steeped in over 3000 years of history, and it shows. Within the city you can find many examples of marvels long past, such as the Alcazabar, a 15th century Moorish fort, a fading echo of long gone glory.

Of course, you may not have an interest in historical splendor. In that case, don't worry, for there is plenty of modern delights to attract and engage you. For instance, take a look at the museum of Picasso. Now, you may not have an interest in Picasso per se, but you cannot deny his impact on modern art. And the museum of Picasso in Malaga is one of the greatest such museums in Europe. Besides this, you have a plethora of theatres to visit, and a wide selection of other entertainments such as classy restaurants, to choose from. And then, if you ever wish to escape this very modern world, you have only to glance outside the city. The scenery is incredible.

Tall mountains cast a spell of grandeur over the nearby countryside, a beautiful contrast to the sparkling, crystal clear seas, and white beaches. Across the water can be glimpsed the coast of Africa, another continent tantalizingly just beyond reach. If natural sights are not your interest, you will undoubtedly admire all the more the brilliant white "sugar cube" villages, perched precariously on the edges of the mountains.

If you ever become bored with these displays, then there are plenty of activities you can pursue. The Costa del Sol is host to more then 50 high class golfing ranges, guaranteed to have excellent weather the whole year round. This may sound unreasonable, but the Costa del Sol has excellent weather, and if it is overcast in one area you can always visit one of the other ranges. Always assuming, of course, you haven't found something else to do that day!

Even if you are not looking to retire right now, but just want a break from the routine, I can definitely recommend the Costa del Sol as an exceptional place to visit. So head on down, and the see newest cultural center of the world!
